I'm a Mod BM; that should be enough !

 

That's true, but since there is no legal reason for the software to exist, why on Earth would anyone post a question about it that could be answered without officially breaching Cisco's terms and conditions? Other than, y'know, "does it install on Windows?" - which would be better off answered by the people who made the software.

I can't see any difference whatsoever between using GNS to violate Cisco's licensing terms and conditions and pirating training providers' CBTs or using braindumps to pass an exam. Anybody coming on here promoting the use of GNS or acting as a GNS apologist is wrong - end of. We don't suffer people here who provide links to dumps or torrents of CBTs, so why should we suffer people trying to use pathetic semantic arguments about the validity of the software itself, rather than what it's used for?

 

Ah well if you need to know anything about it you could always just go over to the Cisco Forums

 

...and despite that, there's been no official word on whether we can post about something that is clearly against Cisco's licensing.
